Triplets: Lucky Mommy is a Beautiful Badass

Jiang Yeqian almost felt like he could not breathe. When faced with Lu Yan's question, he instinctively retorted without even thinking, "Who likes that woman? I just want to know when the young master of Northern Liang's top chamber of commerce developed such an intense taste in women that he would actually want an unwanted widow!! Looks like others need to open their eyes to the world now."

He was, of course, not thinking that internally.

However, the insincere words left his mouth unrestrained.

Lu Yan heard all this but was very satisfied. He said leisurely, "My taste has always been on the intense side; the Head Grand Secretariat doesn't have to trouble himself over it."

An intense taste!

The man so shamelessly admitted to it? So that meant he had deliberately let her sit on his thighs just now?!'

Thinking of this, Jiang Yeqian felt his breathing once again beginning to constrict.

His mind was in a flurry. Feeling ruffled, he spat, "I'll take my leave first."

Immediately leaning on his crutches, he limped with vigorous strides and left Lu Yan's courtyard despite his injured leg.

Lu Yan got up. "Head Grand Secretariat?"

He followed Jiang Yeqian out the gate and calmly asked Dong Jing to escort the man out of the Qi Residence.

Dong Jing returned to report that Jiang Yeqian left without dallying any longer.

Lu Yan was very relieved.

…

…

Inside the carriage.

Jiang Yeqian tossed the crutches aside angrily. He sat silently, his gaze vacating and carrying some anger.

Zhao Xin, who was seated beside him, looked over at the apparently furious Head Grand Secretariat.

He called out softly, "Your Excellency?"

Right after he said that...

Jiang Yeqian could not help but curse, "That woman is sick in the head, Lu Yan too!! To think he actually fell in love with that woman!"

"Your Excellency???" That woman? Who was that? Zhao Xin was stunned. Could His Excellency be talking about Lady Qi? Wait, was His Excellency suggesting that Master Lu had also developed a crush on Lady Qi?

Jiang Yeqian took repeated deep breaths as he kept on muttering to himself, "I'm not angry, what should I be mad for? The young master of the top chamber of commerce in Northern Liang, falling for a widow with triplets. This kind of insanity… I ought to clap my hands and praise it!"

"..." Zhao Xin looked at his master's expression doubtfully and thought to himself, 'Not angry?' He was deeply skeptical.

Jiang Yeqian's finger was constantly tapping on the surface of the small teapoy in the carriage, his entire being the picture of irritation. "That woman has really opened my eyes to the world. She took the initiative to sit on Lu Yan's thighs and even seduced him. She's basically got Lu Yan's background all figured out!! Makes sense that she has—she always loved money, and Lu Yan is the young master of the top chamber of commerce in Northern Liang. She's not taking a loss by doing this."

"..." Zhao Xin listened to Jiang Yeqian's somewhat irrational words. He thought, 'Oh Your Excellency, you said you aren't angry but every word out of your mouth does not have a trace of composure!

'You are obviously angry.

'Very angry.'

It felt like the man was about to lose himself from the anger soon.

Jiang Yeqian's temper flared once again and he threw out a few more curses in succession.

Zhao Xin could not help but say softly, "Your Excellency, did you tell Master Lu about what you prepared just now?"

"What's there to say? It has nothing to do with me!" Jiang Yeqian spat, utterly discomfited.

Zhao Xin, "..."

After returning to his room the moment he arrived back at his residence, Jiang Yeqian drank his medicine and then sat in his study looking at some documents. However, he was unable to comprehend them no matter how he looked through them. After two hours, Zhao Xin entered with a bowl of ginseng tea and noted the documents scattered all over the floor.

"..."

They obviously had been scattered all over the floor by His Excellency in a fit of rage!

Could His Excellency actually fancy Lady Qi?

There was no reason for him to be so angry otherwise.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xin put down the ginseng tea and then picked up all the documents from the floor, organized them, and placed them on the study table. He looked at Jiang Yeqian, who just sat there in a daze.

"Your Excellency?"

"?"

Jiang Yeqian looked up impatiently.

"Do you like Lady Qi?" Zhao Xin asked carefully.

Jiang Yeqian stumbled, the chair underneath his butt immediately flipping over. He fell to the ground in a heap.

In a flurry, Zhao Xian hurriedly helped Jiang Yeqian up.

After Jiang Yeqian got up and sat back down properly, he spat more angry words.

"What nonsense are you spouting? How could I fancy a widow with children? Don't start saying that your Excellency's taste in women is catching up to Lu Yan's!"

The reprimand sounded very serious.

Zhao Xin, however, thought to himself exasperatedly, 'Oh Your Excellency, why would your reaction be this immense if you didn't fancy her?

'What you said really just gave yourself away.

Sigh.
